RESOLUTIONS
We the citizens, residents, and
Taxpayers of Honolulu, acting as We
firmly believe, in sympathy with and
in behalf of all right-minded Citi'
zens, Residents and Taxpayers Of
this Kingdom, and being assembled
in mass meeting in the city of Homo
lulu, on the 30th day of June, 1887
do resolve as follows:-
THAT the administration of thu
Hawaiian Government has ceased
through corruption and incompet
ence, adequately to perform thu
functions and afford the protection
to personal and property rights, TO
which all governments exist.
2-That while some of the evils o
which we complain cannot be at ono
dequately redressed, and their re
currence prevented: and many other
are incurable except by radica
changes in the present constitution
involving protracted delays; we
there are some evils which we fee
must be remedied at once before
permanent reform movement can b
inaugurated with any reasonabl
prospect of success.
3. Holding these views, we re
quest of the King:
First, That he shall at once anC
Internationally dismiss his presen
cabinet from office, and we ask tina
he shall call one of these persons
viz: William l.. Green, Henr,
Warehouse, Godfrey Brown, o
Mark Z. Robinson, to assist him il
selecting a new cabinet, which shall
be committed to the policy of secur
ing q new constitution.
Second. That Walter M. Gibsol
shall be at once dismissed fror
each and every office held by hin
under the government.
Third. In order so far as posi-
BILE 10 remove the stain now restin,
on the throne, we request of tn
King that he shall cause to be mad
immediate restitution of the sum, Il
wit: Seventy-one thousand dollar
| ($71, 000) recently obtained by hin
in violation of law and of his oatl
of Office, under promise that tn
persons from whom the same wa
obtained should receive the licens
to sell opium, as provided by sta
tute of the year 1886.
4.-Whereas one Junius Kaae was
implicated in the obtaining of sale
seventy one thousand dollars (S71,
000) and has since been and still i:
retained in office as Registrar Of
Conveyances, we request as a safe
guard to the property interests o.
the country that said Kaae be a
